Cailean was left sitting on the floor after the words uttered by the friend. One conversation completely turned the tables, from friends and the seemingly unending and very strong bond to a shattered trust and they suddenly turned into enemies.
Cailean wanted to apologize and stop her from stepping down the stairs, but she knows that there is nothing that will make Lena halt her descent. She knows that her words were right, and Lena is not aware that her words and her mindset are completely contradictory. She has to know it, she thought deep inside.
The woman reached out an arm and tried to call her name, but her throat suddenly became dry, and her voice did not even surface. Not even a small sound or moan was uttered. It was as if her world slowed down while witnessing Lena get out of her sight and she might never see her again.
